Yes, Nusrat Husain
, and also PSCAD/EMTDC. I would not say the old EMTP that does not have power flow routines, if I remember well.
Andrea Mariscotti thanks. Can you recommend to me some sources that I can learn and start simulating on load flow analysis in PSCAD?
You're welcome Sayemul Islam . It's a long time I do not use it and I eve lost my copy : some colleague at the university "absorbed" it :)
I have made a search "pscad/emtdc user's manual guide" because I remember it was a good piece of info: www.pscad.com/download/emtdc_user_guide_v4_3_1
The old versions are referred to s: User's Guide of PSCAD/EMTDC, Manitoba HVDC Research Center.
I haven't found anything else really interesting/promising in 4 pages of Google search results. Sorry, it's really 9-10 years that I do not work with it.
PowerWorld is excellent. Also, you can use matpower matlab codes https://matpower.org/

I think matlab can be used for small and large systems. However, the way of programming is critical.
I add my 2 cents, having excavated old RG questions.
There is a similar one back from 8 years ago with some useful answers: https://www.researchgate.net/post/The_best_packages_used_for_power_system_simultion
I agree with Xiaofeng Yang regarding PSCAD/EMTDC, very good product. I share at some extent what Nusrat Husain
pointed out, that PSCAD/EMTDC is more suitable for transient analysis: in this case ETAP is my preferred one, simply because I know it, and there are colleagues I know working on the program and setting up new cases.Maybe DIgSILENT PowerFactory is an option (see e.g. Omar H. Abdalla
), but I do not have experience it (and even I do not know the price).
Dear Sayemul Islam ,
After so many important and interesting contributions to your question, in my opinion, only the Berkeley SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) was missing. This was one of the first electronic circuit simulators to be developed. At first it was pure programming in Fortran without any graphical resources, today after it was acquired by a company it seems that it has become more friendly.
Its core is a robust open source in which all parameters of an electronic and electrical component can be inserted in the smallest details. This for my research in 1990 (Thomas Quarles C version called SPICE3) was essential, as I was building power systems for producing strong magnetic fields for a controlled thermonuclear fusion research machine of Tokamak type.
I hope you can investigate SPICE and like it, it helped me a lot.

It has examples of programming of power circuits in SPICE (document in Portuguese, but all SPICE programming in English).

I wish resilience and a lot of health.

You can use MATLAB, PSCAD and etc.
I strongly recommend DIgSILET PowerFactory.
MATLAB is a very easy platform with MATPOWER. In MATPOWER program, there are many power flow examples.
Good luck!!!!
RSCAD, is one of the best. However, you need to have the hardware to.
EMTP is also another software which I have widely seen it used in railway systems.
I agree with Mahdi Saadatmand
I also recommend DIgSILET PowerFactory. You may have a look at the following books for its application:
Book PowerFactory Applications for Power System Analysis
Book Modelling and Simulation of Power Electronic Converter Domin...
I think, MATLAB/Simulink is the best platform for any type of power system simulation. If you seek an alternative platform, then you can try "PowerWorld" software. It is quite easier and user friendly for load flow analysis and fault detection.
digsilent powerfactory, powerworld, etap. Powerworld is free for student version. Digsilent powerfactory you can request the thesis version if you are PG/UG students.
DIgSILENT Power Factory. If you are experiencing any complication, you can inbox me
PSAT tool in MATLAB, MATPOWER toolbox, Power world simulator, Digsilent in these softwares you can run power flow easily.
